Our submitter in New Zealand, if forced to make a wild guess, says this missive “is probably from the woman across the hallway who stood in the middle of the floor last week and asked loudly, three times, ‘Who took my peanut butter from the fridge? Who?’” and then slunk back to her desk muttering under her breath.”

What does putting your dishes in the dishwasher have to do with taking peanut butter from the fridge?

Why did she have peanut butter in the fridge in the first place? Most peanut butter is shelf-stable, which means she could have kept it locked in her desk.

(I mean, diagnosing people over the interwebs isn’t a good thing to do, but if I were in her life and saw that note, I’d try and get her help…) :-/

Gr I absolutely can’t stand it when people put stuff in the fridge unnecessarily. Peanut butter, onions, orange squash. They go in the cupboard for ****’s sake.

I bought a small jar of Skippy peanut butter, used it one time to make a sandwich, and then left it out of the refrigerator. During the time it took for my freshly painted house to need another coat, my new cement driveway to need patching, and the Kansas City Royals to win a home baseball opener, the jar of Skippy stood ready to make a delicious second sandwich.

Just to fuck with her head, I would put the peanut butter in the dishwasher.

I buy “natural” /”fancy” peanut butter and NO, you most certainly do not HAVE to refrigerate it. If it separates, I stir it. I understand it is all a matter of personal taste and preference, but I think cold peanut butter is disgusting!

It sounds like this letter should have been posted to HR, instead of PAN.
This is a special kind of crazy. I can’t imagine what it’s like to work with someone like this.

Who are all these crazy people not refrigerating their ketchup? We’ll never get marriage equality at this rate.

Curiously the poster (peanut butter lady i presume) actually updated the note a couple of days ago (it’s in a work kitchen). No, not to finally show the connection between how women getting the vote and putting your dishes away after using them – but to change ’5 minutes’ to ’5 seconds’.

I keep the rice in the fridge. Have to. We used to have birds & the damn little grain moths never totally go away. I really don’t like my rice-or flour-to be moving.

Would just like to point out that up until last night gay marriage was not legal here in NZ. SO her note is wrong :). We do have civil union but thanks to the bill being passed, we all have equal rights here to marry who we love.
